Food tasted less than average, kind of Chef Boyardeeish. The owner complained how business is nothing what it used to be and snuffed at my Groupon and spoke under his breath and complained about people using plastic instead of the good ole days when everyone paid cash! Go figure. I won't be back again.

Unfortunately being a Charlotte institution does not mean tasty food.\n\nOpen Kitchen has been around for a while, and it feels like it inside too. I have only found one thing on the menu that is actually edible (grilled chick sandwich). \n\nTheir tomato sauce is very nasty, tastes like it came straight out of a can. S...

The Open Kitchen offered decent Italian food, but I wouldn't call it \"world famous\". The atmosphere was the best part of my visit. I loved the brick interior. The servers were kind and attentive, but it's worth noting that our party of four was served after nearly 20 minutes of waiting, and with only a handful of ...

This is your standard, old-school red sauce Italian restaurant. It's neither good or bad, really. It's much better than heating up a frozen lasagna, but not as good as a well-run Maggiano's (yes, really). I like it OK - I wouldn't seek it out, but wouldn't have a problem going there - but my GF doesn't.

Not too bad. Lots on the menu for a deli. Atmosphere is fair and it's a bit loud in the dining room especially with a woman yelling out numbers for order pickups (extremely irritating). Sandwiches are ok, nothing special.

I just started a job over here and was happy to find a little place that's right by where I'll be working. It was a decent sized place and when we first walked in I was worried because the line was pretty long. Well, I have to say, the line is definitely from the yumminess & price of the food because they moved us thr...

Decent lunch.. Greek American. We were over at the airport center for training and there are not a lot of choices for lunch so we decided to check out this place that was within walking distance. Menu includes hot sandwiches, wraps, gyros, and salads. Pretty basic. But if you are short on time you get your food pretty ...

I tried this place and loved it! While the outside may not be fancy the customer service is warm and fuzzy. I tried the black bean and corn veggie burger that was pretty good. I ordered the vegetable soup as a side item is was good but a little to salty for my taste. The coffee is decent and the prices are reasonable. ...

I wouldn't take a date here, that doesn't mean that I don't like it. It is grunge city in the middle of the ghetto, which makes it the best place to catch some hardcore rock!

If someone took their basement, covered the walls with graffiti and stickers, and built a tiny stage...the result would be similar to The Milestone. It's a great music venue, but it's definitely not for everyone. It's small, smoky and in a crappy neighborhood. I saw a women musicians showcase at The Milestone, which in...
